I'm using SC Prerelease 1419 with Interactive Brokers in simulation mode, and for some reason whenever I place a trade using a Forex symbol, the P&L does not work. It always stays at Zero even though the price is moving. It works with other symbols, just not with forex. Help is appreciated.

Yes the Position Average Price in the Trade Window for the chart shows as 0, and all the Trade Stats for Charts also shows 0. It shows the price bought at and the amount bought, but it does not show any P&L.

There is nothing listed under the Positions tab. All the rows/columns are empty. Under the Orders tab I see the order there, but there is nothing under Positions.
